The service project entitled, The 9-on-9 has created quite a reputation for itself at William Penn High School. The clean-up project organized by students that helped to collect more than 25 trash bags of garbage is coming back for yet a second year. Many remnants still exist from the initial event that took place on March 9th, 2012. Proud past participants wear t-shirts that were given out at the event. This year the project is shaping up to be bigger and better. One of the changes this year is that the event will occur on a Saturday. Preparations are certainly underway and this year promises to be another great success.

Connecting community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.
We believe that every child needs and deserves the Five Basics: 1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult 2. A safe place to learn and grow 3. A health start and healthy future 4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation 5. A chance to give back to peers and community. CSI school-based programs are designed to provide students with at least one of these REAL basics.
